“Change is hope. Change is promise.”

— The Science of Storytelling by Will Storr

All stories begin with change.

My story starts when I left the corporate world (or it left me, I can’t remember) and decided to double down on what I think I do best:

Tell stories about people, for people featuring… people.

I’ve been telling stories for over 30 years. First as a playwright and theater director, then as a video editor and producer. I’ve made everything from TV promotion, documentaries, narrative film, customer testimonials, executive interviews, reality shows, product launches, company histories and even, for a time, actor demo reels*.

I’ve taught writing and storytelling to students of all ages.

Not everything I’ve worked on in 30 years is on my reel. But all of it helped teach me how to use video to tell a story.

That is what I hope to offer you. That is how I can add value. Not necessarily with my editing experience, not my “button pushing”. Nor with knowledge of F-stops, frame rates, S-log or color correction. I truly believe my biggest asset is my ability and experience telling stories.

I can help you find where your story starts. I can help you put that story together in a way that engages your audience.

I can tailor my approach to your needs.

You don’t have to know what you want.
Although you can.
You don’t have to know what exactly is involved.
Although you can.

I’m easy to talk to. A lot of people say so.

When we do talk, the first two questions I will ask you are these:

Who are you trying to reach?

What do you want them to do?

Your story starts with the change you can make for your customer.

Sign up for a 30 minute free discussion with me. I can run you down on the process. You can give me a sense of what you are looking for. Then I can send you an estimate. 

If you like it, we can tell your story with video.

Simple as that.

However, one of the best afternoons of my life was spent with actor Martin Kove, sitting in a West Hollywood edit suite adding his famous line from “The Karate Kid” to his demo reel. “Sweep the leg.” I was like, “Dude, you are the guy who told that other guy to SWEEP THE LEG. Epic.” Martin did not disagree.
